Ronald Wilson Reagan ; Tampico, Illinois; 6 de febrero de 1911 - Bel-Air, Los Ángeles; 5 de junio de 2004 fue un actor y político estadounidense, el cuadragésimo presidente de los Estados Unidos entre 1981 y 1989 y el trigésimo tercer gobernador del estado de California entre 1967 y 1975.

Nacido en Illinois, en 1928 se mudó a Los Ángeles, California, donde trabajó como actor, fue presidente del Screen Actors Guild y portavoz de la compañía multinacional de infraestructuras, servicios financieros y medios de comunicación General Electric . Su inicio en la política ocurrió durante su trabajo en GE; originalmente miembro del Partido Demócrata, se cambió al Partido Republicano en 1962 a la edad de 51 años. Tras pronunciar un entusiasta discurso en apoyo a la candidatura presidencial de 1964 de Barry Goldwater, fue persuadido para lograr la gobernación de California, ganándola dos años después y por segunda vez en 1970. Fue vencido en su carrera por la nominación republicana presidencial en 1968 y en 1976, pero ganó tanto la nominación como las elecciones en 1980, convirtiéndose en Presidente de los Estados Unidos de América.

Como presidente introdujo nuevas y osadas iniciativas políticas y económicas. Su política económica, entroncada en la llamada economía de la oferta, se haría famosa bajo el nombre de "reaganomics", caracterizada por la desregularización del sistema financiero y por las rebajas substanciales de impuestos implementadas en 1981. En su primer período, sobrevivió a un intento de asesinato, marcó una línea dura contra los sindicatos y además ordenó acciones militares en la independiente isla caribeña de Granada, próxima a la costa de Venezuela. Fue reelegido con una gran mayoría en las elecciones de 1984. El segundo período de Reagan estuvo marcado principalmente por asuntos extranjeros, siendo los más importantes el fin de la Guerra Fría, el bombardeo de Libia y la revelación del escándalo Irán-Contras. Previamente el presidente había ordenado un masivo incremento militar para la lucha estrecha contra la Unión de Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas , dejando atrás la estrategia de la détente. Describió públicamente a la URSS como el "imperio del mal" y apoyó movimientos anticomunistas en todo el mundo a través de la denominada Doctrina Reagan. Negoció el Tratado INF para el desarme nuclear con el secretario general soviético Mijaíl Gorbachov, logrando la reducción de los arsenales nucleares de ambos países.

Dejó el cargo en 1989. En 1994 el expresidente reveló que le habían diagnosticado la enfermedad de Alzheimer a comienzos de ese año. Murió diez años después a la edad de noventa y tres, siendo uno de los expresidentes más longevos del país. Wikipedia
